The ratios have risen from days of old
Silver was16-1, in its buying power to gold
A home was 4 1/5 × the average annual wage, now it\'s 14 x, not affordable at this range
The wage gap has widened
Averages are to high
Distorted by the few
Who\'s packages are sky high
Alcohol and tobacco the poor man\'s friend
Well, we can\'t have that
Tax it until they end
Gas, electricity, petrol, and food
Corporate profits rising
Savers left nude
The rich get richer
As the middle class fades away
Don\'t worry
You\'ll own nothing but be happy
That\'s what I heard Klaus say
The borrower is servant to the lender
A highway has been pathed
And all of us upon it
Are driven to be slaves.
